With IRIS, New York-based improvisers Andrea Parkins (electric-accordion & laptop electronics) and Hans Tamman (guitar, electronics) collaborate with Paris-based improvisers Edward Perraud (drums and percussion) and cellist Didier Petit to create original works of structured freedoms. This tour – their premier stateside performance to follow their January 2012 recording and concert tour of Europe – is supported by the ensemble’s recent award from the French American Cultural Exchange.
